This story really resonates with me. I was my children’s father, and now they’re “parent.” For them, it was a little challenging at first, but now it’s seamless. They call me “Gen” more often than Mom, but in unfamiliar company they use “Mom.” I never asked for them to adjust any terminology, they just did. I applaud you for your courage and your wisdom to keep your children close through transition. Hooray for you all!
